But inside isn't all that flavorful. Cream cheese filling adds a creaminess and the chicken itself doesn't do much. 4 3. Burger is juicy, tender, and seasoning is present but not the main show. The egg adds an umami and the bun is sweet. This burger relies heavily on the mayo which maybe I'm crazy but it taste way better than normal mayo. Ham doesn't really add anything and the bacon adds a crunch and flavor. 6 house mayo 4. Picanah is tender and so well flavored. Juicy and the fat melts away. 9 the fried yuca has a great typical yuca taste but isn't salted. I'd like to have some seasoning or flavor contrast. But dipping the yuca in the juices of the picanah solves all the problems. 8. Adding Brazilian chimichurri is ok. Not my favorite style of chimichurri. Mixing chimi and house made meyo combo with the yuca flour is 10 bite. Super good 5. Beans are soft and tender. Beans flavor but no seasoning. 4.5 after adding the yuca flour it helps a little bit but beans aren't for me. 6. Picanah sandwich is amazing. Adds the flavor of that picanah to the delicious house made mayo. This sandwich doesn't rely so heavily on the mayo. I reslly enjoyed this. I'd like it more if the bread wasn't so much. The chimichurri mixes really well with their house made mayo. Fatty with a tang. Tender and juicy. This might be a 10 if the bread wasn't so thick and bready 9.5

Please visit this restaurant! I have driven by many times without stopping in and I am so sad that…read moreI waited so long. They have a menu of items you can try in order off of, but my sister and I got the buffet and we're sure glad that we did. They had some salad bar items and then hot bar items with different items that rotate daily. In addition, they had a gentleman carving beautifully cooked steak, lamb, and sausage at your request. Everyone that worked there was super nice and helpful. Multiple people stopped by to check on us and welcome us. All the food was delicious and we picked out a few desserts to take home from the bakery (not included in the buffet price). There's also a little Brazilian market attached to the restaurant that is worth checking out as well. The restaurant itself had a really nice vibe with exposed brick walls. One of the women working told us that happy hour is from 12 to 8 but I will have to come back and try one of their cocktails at some other point. I will definitely be back.

The atmosphere is unique, charming, relaxing, and welcoming. Katherine, the executive manager takes great care of you as a guest. She sets the pace, working with her staff to insure a great experience. She is visable and mingling with her guests. Then there is Nick, our server today, that greats you very kindly and welcomes you with a warm smile. He answers all your questions and made a couple of recommendations as this was our first time here. His recommendations were well recieved and turned out to be what we expected, they were great. I got the meatloaf, sounds like big deal. But let me tell you, this is a great tasting dish. Well balanced flavor and seasoning. My wife had the chicken & Amish noodles over mashed potatoes and it was delicious as well. Then Nick suggested dessert, recommended the Chefs Christie's Famous Cinnamon Roll Apple Pie | A La Mode. This is unlike any cinnamon roll you have ever had. It was delicious. We split that and I think my wife got more of it than I did. Oh well. Like I said this wasn't just eating out at a nice restaurant, this was a great dining experience to tell your friends about.

Books everywhere, the menus are literally books, there's this big community table in the middle plus booths if you want your own space. Just one of those places that feels different the second you walk in.We both did the afternoon tea, sandwiches and desserts were good no complaints there. But the real shocker... the girls actually tried the tea and liked it I fully expected faces and complaints but nope. We did order a grilled cheese and a burger just to be safe and both were solid. Also tried an espresso martini for the first time and yeah I get the hype now, it was really good.And our server was so sweet, super patient, explained the teas, made suggestions without being pushy. You can tell she actually cared about the experience. Overall just a really cute, different kind of outing, especially if you're trying to do something a little more memorable with kids.

We started with the king crab brûlée, which was as good as it sounds -- rich, a little indulgent, and gone faster than we planned. The Wagyu flight was outstanding across the board, but the Japanese A5 was on another level entirely-- borderline unfair to the rest of the plate. Sides don't always get the spotlight, but the creamed spinach absolutely deserves it. If all vegetables tasted like that, I'd have made better life choices years ago. The potatoes Anna were also excellent --crispy, buttery, and exactly what you want them to be. Dessert sealed the deal. The honey butter cake was fantastic -- warm, rich, and worth saving room for (even if you think you don't have any left). My only "complaint," if you can call it that, is I was hoping to see a bananas foster on the menu -- but I'll survive. Overall, a great meal, great atmosphere, and a place we'll definitely be back to.

The service we received was on par with all the other Cameron Mitchell restaurants (fantastic). I always like to try an old fashioned whenever I'm at a new restaurant and Butcher & Rose did not disappoint. When trying to decide on entrees, our waitress described the lobster roll as fresh, buttery and delicious so that's what I went with. Unfortunately, it was just a basic bun with basic lobster and a side of melted butter. I had been so looking forward to trying it, however there was no finesse or excitement to the dish. After the disappointing lobster roll, I decided to go all in for dessert and order the creme brûlée. It more than made up for my disappointing entree. It was beautiful, creative and most importantly, DELICIOUS. It was a great lunch despite the disappointing lobster roll and I will definitely be back for dinner service.

This was a great first date spot!…read more We were looking for a classy place to enjoy a great steak. I had heard good things about Polaris Grill, and it delivered. The bread was the only thing that wasn't excellent. It just seemed out of place. Everything else, from the salad (killer dressing!) to the steak to the sides, was superb. The potatoes dauphinoise were incredible - like a scalloped potato lasagna. I'm definitely going to try making this at home. Our server Devon was fantastic and made sure our evening was perfect.

Restaurant Week Edition…read more Eddie Merlot's continues to be the pinnacle of dining experience. The food is excellent, the service is impeccable, and the overall atmosphere is unlike any other. We came here knowing it was Restaurant Week. It was $60 for an app, main entree, and dessert. This is an extremely underrated deal! I started with the caesar. It was delicious. We also ordered calamari and fries for the table. They were devoured! The main entree had an option of a 6 oz. filet. I upgraded to an 8 oz for a $12 upcharge along with the bacon Gorgonzola topping. Chef's kiss. I'm still thinking about it. I finished with the carrot cake. I left full and happy. Shout out to our server, Chad. He was a hoot! Extremely friendly and had a lot of great recommendations. When we come back, we hope we get sat in his section again!

Beautiful restaurant with fantastic service. We had a business dinner there this week, and…read moreeverything was perfect. The potstickers and shrimp cocktail were delicious appetizers, and the grilled romaine salad accompanied those perfectly. My filet was much closer to medium well than medium rare but still tasted great. My coworkers tried the ribeye and Cajun grill with great reviews from both. The lobster Mac was ok, I found it to be flat and not too flavorful, but others enjoyed. The grilled asparagus and Brussels were much more to my taste. Desert was a giant slice of carrot cake to share, and we still left over half behind. It's huge, and delightful. The cream cheese frosting was to die for. We had Angels Envy espresso martinis with it, and those were tasty. Wine selection was good, service amazing, and would overall return again if in the area.

The highlight of the night? Grace, my favorite person at the restaurant, made a grand entrance with a half-dozen roses--delivered as requested to surprise my lovely wife. It was such a sweet touch that made me look like a hero! Once we were seated, Matt came by with two Champagne glasses and a bottle of top-shelf bubbly to toast the occasion. Talk about starting the night off right! The surprises didn't stop there--our first appetizer was on Grace, which was such a generous gesture. Then came the main courses: a perfectly cooked filet for my wife and delicious scallops for me. Every bite was divine, and I savored every single scallop. It was an unforgettable evening filled with exceptional service, delicious food, and thoughtful touches that made our anniversary so special. Cheers to nights like these!

Everything, from checking in, to coat check, to Aaron-my server, to food quality, to Grant-the manager, was exceptional. You could order from the regular menu or their Thanksgiving prix fixe. I ordered the Tday meal. The Turkey was so tender. I don't normally eat gravy, but the gravy was very good. Had the crabmeat appetizer and it was very good as well. There were diners at other tables who saw mine and added it to their orders. I was surprised that it was so crowded/evidently a lot of people choose to go out on TDay. Despite the crowd, only a couple of glitches, which they handled very professionally. I will definitely return for a traditional steak dinner. As an added bonus, they donate to a local food pantry where I volunteer. Great food and a commitment to caring for others? I'll definitely return.

Another very enjoyable meal at Texas Roadhouse…read more This time I skipped the steak and went with the BBQ chicken, and it was an excellent choice. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and coated with a rich barbecue sauce that had just the right balance of sweet and smoky. For sides, I had the loaded sweet potato and green beans, and both were outstanding. The sweet potato was large and loaded just the way it should be, almost like having a little dessert with dinner. The green beans were well seasoned and paired perfectly with the meal. Of course, you can't visit Texas Roadhouse without getting the Cactus Blossom and those famous fresh-baked rolls with cinnamon butter. The appetizer was crispy and perfect for sharing, and the rolls were warm, soft, and every bit as irresistible as always. A special shout-out to Lauren, who was outstanding. She told us she has been with Texas Roadhouse for over five years, and it shows. Her friendly service, great attitude, and attention to detail made the whole experience even better. 8440 Lyra Dr Columbus, OH 43240

One star off because I'm still upset by the switch from peanut buckets to plastic bags of peanuts…read more Lighting was dim in spots so kind of similar to a sports bar, but the staff were friendly. My family had steaks and ribs. I had the country plate for the vegetarian option with a salad, baked potato, veggies, and seasoned rice. The food came out faster than expected and tasted good. It is pretty loud inside so be sure to speak up and double check the waiter hears the order. Ours came correctly, but one felt his steak was cooked slightly off. Lots of birthdays happen here so great for groups with large booths and tables. There were at least 3 birthday songs just while we were there near us. This gets very busy so join the waitlist ahead of time.
